A serif typeface with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give the strokes a gently calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel traditional and steady, with a normal x-height and compact, slightly tapered stems that thicken into the ends. Curves are round and full (notably in O/C), while diagonals and arms finish with sharp, chiseled tips; the overall rhythm is even and well suited to text. Numerals follow the same flared logic, with open counters and sturdy, bookish forms.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for section headings, pull quotes, and branding that aims for heritage, craft, or cultural credibility.
The tone is classic and literary, with a quiet authority that reads as bookish rather than formal or high-fashion. Its crisp wedges and soft modulation add warmth and a handcrafted edge, giving text a composed, slightly old-world voice.
Likely intended to blend classical serif readability with more expressive, flared stroke endings, offering a familiar text face with added personality. The goal appears to be a dependable literary voice that gains character from wedge terminals and subtle modulation.
The design balances sharp, pointed terminals with generously shaped bowls, creating strong word silhouettes and clear differentiation between straight and curved strokes. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the flared endings add emphasis at larger sizes without feeling heavy.
